It came to my attention that a new film, or more precisely, a new film format, will launch on September 5th, 2024.
I’m marking this post as a spoiler, and I won’t attach any images here for the benefit of those who like surprises delivered by the manufacturers and folks whom they choose to spread the word about the products.
But since you’re here, you must’ve clicked the link, so here it goes:
It appears that Harman will be releasing their Phoenix 200 film in 120 format very shortly.
This is fantastic news for those who enjoy this emulsion but would rather see tighter grain in their images. This includes me, as I enjoyed the vividness of the colours of this new film but wished for more resolution.
In my Harman Phoenix 200 film review (analog.cafe/r/harman-phoen…), I even made a composite image from seven vertical panoramas to see how it would look in a larger format. You can find that and all the technical info about this film (which applies to all formats) in the above link.
This news was accidentally leaked by Harman when they published a blog post about the medium-format release early. The company has since taken it down, but you can see the cached version here: webcache.googleusercontent….
The listed price on the above post is £10.99 or ~$14.50.
